NBC Reportedly Paid Chelsea Clinton a Whopping $600K Salary
Mediaite ^ | 13 Jun 2014 | Andrew Kirell

Chelsea Clinton once earned an annual salary of $600,000 at NBC News, POLITICO‘s Dylan Byers and Maggie Haberman revealed on Friday via sources with knowledge.

Their report reads:

Clinton, who joined NBC News as a “special correspondent” in November 2011, was up for renewal or non-renewal this year. Instead, the sources said, the network decided to keep her on the payroll on a month-to-month basis so that the two parties could sever ties if Clinton’s mother, Hillary, runs for president.

[...] As special correspondent, Clinton worked on service-related feature assignments for NBC’s “Rock Center with Brian Williams” until the show’s cancellation in June 2013. Clinton has since worked on packages for NBC Nightly News.

In the media world, $600k is a large salary compared to what some high-level editors and producers make annually. As Reason‘s Matt Welch pointed out, Clinton’s six-figure salary amounted to a higher amount than what former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson ($475,000) and her predecessor Bill Keller ($559,000) made.

I could suck at “reporting” as badly as she did. And I would be whole lot cheaper, ya know.

So you little liberal journalist students busting your asses to make names for yourselves probably feel really stupid now. :)

Just how much of that did this liberal buffoon give to “charity” (no...I don’t mean the klintoon foundation)? That money begs for “redistribution”. Is she a selfish pig?

Liberals reward each other for failure, and in this case, for doing and being nothing.

For comparison, the New York Times executive editor, Jill Abramson, was paid a starting salary in 2011 of $475,000, compared to her predecessor Bill Keller’s salary of $559,000. Jill’s annual pay was raised to $503,000, then raised again to $525,000 after she protested - and then she was fired. I have trouble imagining that Chelsea’s responsibilities or ability were anywhere near Jill’s.

Perhaps liberal media outlets don’t discriminate against women, just against women who are not close relatives of impeached philanderers.

I don’t think you understand.

Rules are for the little people.

Not the important elite.

“Chelsea Clinton once earned an annual salary of $600,000 at NBC News”

She did not earn a penny of it. She had a no show/no work job that represents just a small part of the corruption and dishonesty of the MSM.

Sometimes you aren’t paid for your skills but for what
backdoor stuff you may know about, etc. Who knows.

Mom makes a fortune in the futures market just by reading The Wall Street Journal. Chelsea commands $600,000 per year from a major network even though she’s never worked in a media job before. This family has some natural talent!!

The Howdy Doody impersonation industry is very lucrative.

Search people. Search. This is the 3rd (at least) time this has popped up today. Regardless, no doubt she supported the ows-ers/99%ers.

Nobody at NBC News is worth that kind of dough.

And yet, they were flat broke.

Wonder how much it comes to per minute.
